Red and black 760T customized

[ricchi]

Hello guys, 

 

So I have upgraded my rig about a month ago and now i had some time to spend to customize the case and internals to my liking. There is nothing major, some plasti dip, added front vent, hopefully some neat cable management and lighting, custom "roof". Some of the parts are still drying and im waiting for the front bay covers. I will update the topic with more pictures once i get everything ready and set up.

Sorry for the bad quality pictures, only had a phone to work with

Looks good man! How come you didn't go with a ROG board?

[athesean1]

looks good cant wait for more pics

Several parts of this rig, including cpu, mobo, ram, 1 of the ssd's and the hard drive has been taken out of my previous system that was more of a future-proof work/media rig not a gaming machine

 

Painting all done, masking was a pain but i think it turned out well. The bottom of the roof will have some lighting from the white leds inside the case, should give a really nice red accent from the outside. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Only waiting for this now, i should be able to put everything together as soon as it arrives. Not sure what to do with the logo here, might paint it solid black.

So everything is put together, only waiting for the front cover. It turned out good i think, but i dont like the fact that the pci-e cables are not getting any lighting... might have move them to go around the back. Some of the pictures are pretty washed out, but in reality its nice red everywhere. 

 

Sorry about the poor image quality, also forgot to rotate some of the pictures  :rolleyes:

That looks really nice.

[Daniel4799]

realy cool. that top cover looks awsome!

[Paralectic]

There is too much red in my opinion, meh.

[aliendejoe]

It looks gorgeous. How about you name it?

Just bought this case, can't wait for it to arrive.

[ricchi]

That looks really nice.

Thanks

Cant take full credit, someone on this forum i think had the idea, i just improved it a bit.

I like red, and in reality its not as much as the pictures would make you think

Im not very good at naming things. It is a very nice case, easy to work with except the cable management room in the back.When i had extensions i was unable to completely close the back panel. You really have to put some effort into making sure cables dont overlap and everything goes the right way. The window will be a proper dust collector for the first few days, dont even bother cleaning it as long as it has some electric charge left.

First off, your PC looks amazing, it's a dream!

 

The one thing that irritates me are the PCIe power cables which look like spaghetti hanging down there.

[menendez1293]

Looks awesome, where did you get the combs for the cables?

Thanks. Yeah it did look a bit better in my head Im still adjusting them trying different ways to route the cables. At the moment they go to the bottom back instead of the bottom front. Looks a bit better, but im still not happy with them.

Thanks for the advice, I hope the window doesn't get scratched easily

No not really, as long as you use some soft material to clean it. 

[ricchi]

Bad luck Brian here... the front panel doesnt fit  :rolleyes:

Have to start looking for another one.

 

[aliendejoe]

I was wondering how a ROG front panel will look like in this case.

It would look silly as i dont have a ROG board Also, one of the reasons i made changes to the front is the extra airflow going straight into the cpu fans.

[bbqsauce]

That is a whole lot of corsair

[ricchi]

That is a whole lot of corsair

Yeah i guess its a combination of producing quality, going with the trends and sponsoring all them youtube channels. Made me a fanboy

My mistake, I forgot you don't have a ROG board. I was considering one for my build but got confused.
